Sue Foley is considered one of the finest blues/roots
artists working today. She is internationally known as one of
the best and most original artists working in her field. She is an
accomplished guitarist, songwriter and vocalist. Although only in
her thirties, she has been writing and playing for over twenty
years. Sue recently released her tenth studio CD called "New Used
Car", which has taken her even further down the road of an already
very successful career.

She has nine other CD's out; five from legendary Austin based blues
label Antone's, three on New York independent Shanachie and the most
recent live acoustic CD "Change" on Ruf Records from Germany and
Justin Time in Canada. Also coming in spring 2006 is the live DVD
"Sue Foley, Live in Germany" also on Ruf Records.

Sue has spent over eighteen years on the road as bandleader, lead
guitar player and manager of her own band. In addition to her own
shows she has shared the stage and opened up for star performers BB
King, Buddy Guy, Koko Taylor, George Thorogood, Tom Petty, Joe Cocker
and many more.

In 2000 she was honored in her home country with her first Juno
Award (Canadian equivalent to the Grammy) for Best Blues Album for
her CD "Love Comin' Down". Since 1999 she has received a record
setting seventeen Maple Blues Awards and three Trophee De Blues in
France. Sue was also nominated for a prestigious W.C. Handy Award
for best contemporary female artist in 2002.

When Sue is not touring or raising her son she is busy pursuing
artistic and financial independence. She started her own company,
Guitar Woman Inc. and has plans to start her own record label. But
Sue's largest project, her esteemed "Guitar Woman" book is what
takes most of her time and energy (see
www.guitarwoman.com).
Since 2001 Sue has been writing and conducting interviews with the world's
finest female guitar players. The book's release, scheduled for 2007
promises to be the biggest moment of Sue's career. Along with the
book plans are in the works for "Guitar Woman" tours and a
documentary.

With her tenth CD, a live DVD and a book in the works, Sue is just
beginning new chapter in her career, and it promises to be the best
one yet.

Blues guitarist, singer/songwriter
Sue DaBaco has been performing
professionally in Chicago for the past 15 years. Her claim to fame
was with Chicago's local radio personality Buzz Kilman (of Jonathon
Brandmeier's WLUP 79.9 fm radio showgram, "Johnny in the Morning")
and his band "Buzz Kilman and the All Bubba Blues Band."

She played both lead and rhythm guitar and fronted several songs
including SRV's "Tightrope," Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile" and Bob
Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone." During their 25 year's together,
the Bubba's were the favorite opener for many national acts (Frampton,
Eddie Money, Koko Taylor, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Lonnie Brooks, etc.,)
and played just about every festival and blues club in and around the
Chicagoland area.

Since then she has put together her own blues band called
Wise Fools and also
performs an acoustic solo show - both uniquely fit their genres
and are an eclectic, intellectual, melt‑your‑face‑off,
raw exploration of the emotional and spiritual inertia of blues/rock music.
She has also played internationally, Eastern Europe specifically and has
been asked to return to perform at several of the blues festivals in Poland
and Lithuania.

Her main influences consists of the all time classic blues rock
flavors of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn and the
sultry soulfulness of Bonnie Raitt. Lately she has been studying
the emotionally raw sounds of early bluesmen like Blind Willie
Johnson, Skip James, J.B. Lenoir and Robert Johnson, creating an
unforgettable mixture of old and new sounds likely to please and
entertain blues and rock fans alike.
